I'm on a bit of a healthy eating kick at the moment, but still have cravings for something sweet. There are many different supposedly healthier sweet snacks by many different manufacturers, some are good some are bad, but are any of them healthy and tasty. Well to be honest I'm no nutrition expert and can just about work out the number on the nutritional guide on the backs of packets. I generally think that the healthier it is the worse tasting it will be. So how do Snack a Jacks Caramel fit into my crazy system?

First off I got two, six packet multi bags for £2.50 on a special offer at Tesco, meaning I paid roughly 21p per single 25g pack, which is good value in my mind. They come in a caramel coloured packet with some pictures of the product as well as the Snack a Jacks logo.

The pack tells us that there are the following nutritional values per 25g pack:
102 calories (5% of RDA)
7.5g of sugars (8% of RDA)
0.8g of fat (1% of RDA)
0.2g of saturates (1% of RDA)
0.1g of salt (2% of RDA)
RDA = Recommended daily allowance for an adult.

The actual snacks are mini rice cakes in a crunchy caramel coating. The caramel gives you the sweet kick you need, but isn't over sweet. Just right in my opinion. The rice cake is also nice and crispy.

Overall these fill my sweet craving need, and although looking at the nutritional info, in large quantities these aren't a great option, in small amounts they are in my mind a good alternative to eating a chocolate bar or something similar.

It's worth noting that they also to these in jumbo sized packs where you get a single large cake per serving. Overall I give these 4 stars.
